The Buster Keaton Blogathon, hosted by historian and writer Lea Stans of the splendid Silentology webpage and sponsored by the equally splendid International Buster Keaton Society, is back!
The International Buster Keaton Society (A.K.A. the Damfinos) hosts a convention paying tribute to Buster every October in Muskegon, Michigan and are both sponsoring this blogathon and donating a $50 giftcard to their Buster Stuff store.

Way Too Damn Lazy To Write A Blog shall make a return visit to the dreaded Keaton MGM talkies. Shall take a look at the 1932 film Speak Easily, co-starring The Great Stone Face with ubiquitous comedienne of the early 1930's Thelma Todd and vaudeville star Jimmy Durante, at that time making the transition to movies.
While no longer participating in blogathons for the most part, we are thrilled and delighted to make an exception here, having contributed Parlor, Bedroom And Bath, a.k.a. Buster Does Farce to the first Buster Keaton Blogathon.
